However, according to the photojournalist, the production line for the missile is already operational, but for security reasons he did not reveal its location.

Until now, the Ukrainians have had Western-made long-range missiles at their disposal – the ATACMS and Storm Shadow . They have developed their own Long Neptun missile, with a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers. The Flamino is expected to have a range at least three times greater.
